Birch

Welcome to Birch Class

Birch Class are Year 1 with Mrs Peall as their teacher. 

 

Year 1 have had a brilliant autumn term so far and have already produced great quality work! 

This term, our topic is...

London's Burning...

 

We have been studying the Great Fire of London in both English and history - thinking about the order of events and why it spread so quickly. The children have produced a diary entry from the perspective of Thomas Farriner and also a poem about travelling through London.   

Key reminders:

 

- PE days are Wednesdays and Fridays. Please make sure PE kit comes in on a Monday ready for the week. 

- The children will be able to take home a Monster Phonics reading book each week after their guided reading session. These will be different days for each child so please continue to read different reading materials at home too. The guided reading books will be changed the following week during their next in school session. Please send your child into school with their diary and reading book every day

- Our library slot is a Friday morning where the children will get to choose a 'Reading for Pleasure' book. Please ensure this comes back to school each Friday, otherwise your child will not be able to change their book.

- Maths homework is sent home each Friday and is always due the following Wednesday. It will always be based on the maths we have been doing that week. 

- Spelling homework will also be sent home on a Friday ready for the spelling check the following Friday

- Diaries are signed each Friday to count the number of reads that week. If your child reads 5 times, they will be awarded a bookworm token. When they have accumulated 10 of these, they will receive a free book! 

- If you have any questions about life in Year 1, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Peall at Birch@underwood.notts.sch.uk
